ግራንድ አፍሪካን ረን 2026 | Grand African Run 2026

አብሮነት መሻል ነው!
Celebrating Africa and bringing people together
#ethiopia | ወደ መነሻ መስመሩ ይቅረቡ፤ ግራንድ አፍሪካን ረን ~ የተለያዩ የኑሮ ዘርፎችና የሕይወት ታሪኮች ያሏቸውን ሰዎች በአንድ የሚያሰባስብ የ5 ኪሎ ሜትር ሩጫ እና ከባህል ጋር የተቆራኘ የአንድነትና የተሳትፎ ልምድ የሚያቀርብ የትርፍ ያልሆነ ዝግጅት ነው።

ከተለያዩ ትውልዶች የተውጣጡ ቤተሰቦች፣ የተለያየ ዕድሜ፣ የአኗኗር ዳራ፣ ችሎታና የሕይወት ልምድ ያላቸው ሰዎች ተመሳሳይ ቀለም ያላቸውን ሸሚዞች ለብሰው በሩጫው፣ በእግር ጉዞው እና በመራመዱ ይሳተፋሉ።

የግራንድ አፍሪካን ረን መስራች ዶ/ር ጋሻው አበዛ እንደሚሉት፦

“ሁሉም ሰው ተመሳሳይ ዓይነት ሸሚዝ ለብሷል፤ ስለዚህ ማን ዕድሜው የገፋ ወይም ወጣት፣ ሀብታም ወይም ድሃ መሆኑን ማወቅ አይቻልም። በመነሻ መስመሩ አጠገብ የሚፈሱትን ሰዎች ማየት ያለውን ስሜት እወደዋለሁ፤ ምክንያቱም ይህን ዝግጅት ለማዘጋጀት ብዙ ጥረት ይደረጋል።”

ከሩጫ በላይ የሆነ የባህል ተሞክሮ

ግራንድ አፍሪካን ረን በአሌክሳንድሪያ ከተማ በሚገኙ እንደ Old Town እና Potomac Yard ባሉ ሰፈሮች የሚካሄድ ሩጫ ብቻ አይደለም። ይህ አፍሪካዊ ባህልን የሚያስተዋውቅ ልዩ የባህል ተሞክሮም ነው።

በዝግጅቱ የተለያዩ የቀጥታ ትርዒቶች ይቀርባሉ። ሙዚቀኞች የተለያዩ የአፍሪካ ከበሮዎችንና ቫዮሊንን ይጫወታሉ፤ ዳንሰኞችም እስክስታ የተባለውን ባህላዊ የኢትዮጵያ ዳንስ ጨምሮ ከኤርትራ፣ ከሩዋንዳ፣ ከኬንያና ከሌሎችም የአፍሪካ አገራት የተውጣጡ ባህላዊ ውዝዋዜዎችን ያቀርባሉ።

በተጨማሪም ከአፍሪካ ዲያስፖራ የተውጣጡ ምግቦችና የባህል ቅርሶች በነጋዴዎች ይቀርባሉ። የበጎ አድራጎት አጋር ድርጅቶችም ከተሳታፊዎች ጋር በመገናኘት ሩጫውን የሚሳተፉበትን ወይም የሚደግፉበትን የበጎ አድራጎት ዓላማ እንዲመርጡ ያደርጋሉ።

ከእነዚህም መካከል African Women’s Cancer Awareness Association (AWCAA)፣ Your Ethiopian Professionals Network (YEP)፣ Raeye Children Aid (RCA) እና ሌሎች በርካታ ድርጅቶች ይገኙበታል። WIHA የተባለው ድርጅት ደግሞ በአፍሪካ ለሚገኙ በቂ አገልግሎት ላላገኙ ማህበረሰቦች ንጹህ ውሃ፣ የወር አበባ ንጽህና ፓዶችና ሌሎች አስፈላጊ ድጋፎችን ያቀርባል።

አሌክሳንድሪያ፦ የተለያዩ ባህሎች መገናኛ

ዶ/ር ጋሻው አበዛ አሌክሳንድሪያ ለግራንድ አፍሪካን ረን ተስማሚ ስፍራ የሆነችውን ምክንያት ሲገልጹ፦

“ከተማዋ ሰዎቿ ናቸው። ከመላው ዓለም የመጡ ሰዎች በአሌክሳንድሪያ ይኖራሉ። እዚህ ሁሉም ሰው ተቀባይነት አለው፤ ተሞክሮዎቹም ይህንን ያረጋግጣሉ።”

የመስጠትና የማህበረሰብ መንፈሱ በዝግጅቱ ሁሉ ይቀጥላል። ተሳታፊዎች የመኪና ሎተሪ ዕጣ ለመግዛትም ዕድል ያገኛሉ። በዚህ ዓመት ሽልማቱ 2026 Toyota Corolla ነው።

እንዲሁም African Impact Award በተለያዩ የሥራ ዘርፎች የላቀ አስተዋጽኦ ያበረከቱ የአፍሪካ መሪዎችን የሚያውቅና የሚያከብር የሽልማት መርሃ ግብር ነው።

ዶ/ር አበዛ፣ “ለማንም ክፍት ነው። ሁሉም ሰው በሩጫው መሳተፍ ይችላል። ነገር ግን የአፍሪካን ስኬቶች ለማክበር ስለፈለግን ግራንድ አፍሪካን ሩን ብለን ሰየምነው” ይላሉ።

የአፍሪካ የሩጫ ባህል ያነሳሳው ስም

ግራንድ አፍሪካን ረን የሚለው ስም አፍሪካ በሩጫ ዓለም ያላትን ጠንካራ ባህል ያንፀባርቃል። ዶ/ር አበዛ ይህንን ባህል በሥራ ሕይወታቸው መጀመሪያ ላይ ከ30,000 በላይ ተሳታፊዎችን ባሰባሰበ የሩጫ ዝግጅት ላይ በመስራት ተመልክተዋል።

“ያ የሥራ ሕይወቴ የመጀመሪያ ዘመን በጣም ያምር ነበር። ያ ከአምስት ዓመታት በላይ የሠራሁበት የመጀመሪያ ሥራዬ ነበር። በዚያን ጊዜ ወንዶች፣ ሴቶች፣ አካል ጉዳተኞች—ሁሉም አብረው ይሰበሰቡ ነበር።”

ዶ/ር አበዛ ለአምስት ዓመታት ያህል የሩጫ ዝግጅቶችን በማዘጋጀት ያሳለፉ ሲሆን፣ ስፖርት የዕድሜ፣ የባህል፣ የአኗኗር ወይም የችሎታ ልዩነት ሳይገድበው ሰዎችን ማቀራረብ እንደሚችል በተግባር ተመልክተዋል።

በቀጣይ ዓመታትም በስፖርት ቢዝነስ ዘርፍ ተመራማሪ፣ ፕሮፌሰርና አማካሪ በመሆን ሰፊ ልምድ አካብተዋል። የዶክትሬት ትምህርታቸውን ሲጀምሩ፣ ከባለቤታቸውና ከልጆቻቸው ጋር መረጋጋት ሲጀምሩና በሌላ ሀገር ቤት መስራት ምን ማለት እንደሆነ ሲያስቡ ስለሕይወት ዓላማቸው በጥልቀት ማሰብ ጀመሩ።

“ማስተማር እችላለሁ። መጽሐፍትን መጻፍና ተማሪዎችን ማስተማር እችላለሁ። ግን ከዚያስ? ማሰብ ጀመርኩ፤ ‘አንድ ነገር ማድረግ አለብኝ። ሕይወት ወደዚህ የዓለም ክፍል ካመጣኝ፣ መልሼ ለማኅበረሰቡ መስጠት እፈልጋለሁ’ አልኩ። 70 ዓመት ሲሆነኝ ለልጆቼ ምን እነግራቸዋለሁ? እናንተ በሕይወታችሁ ዓላማ አላችሁ፤ እኔም በሕይወቴ ዓላማ አለኝ። ሁሉም ሰው በዚህ ሕይወት ዓላማ አለው፣ አይደል? የእኔ ዓላማ ለሌሎች መስጠት ነው።”

ይህ የሕይወት ዓላማ ፍለጋ የግራንድ አፍሪካን ሩን ሃሳብ እንዲወለድ አደረገ። የሚቀረው ጉዳይ ይህንን ራዕይ ለማስፈጸም ተስማሚ ቦታ ማግኘት ነበር፤ እሱም አሌክሳንድሪያ ሆነች።

የአፍሪካ ብቃትና ስኬትን ማክበር

የዝግጅቱ ዓላማ ግልጽ ከሆነ በኋላ ዶ/ር አበዛ ግራንድ አፍሪካን ሩንን ከአፍሪካና ከዓለም የተወደዱ ታዋቂ አትሌቶች ጋር ለማገናኘት ችለዋል። ከእነዚህም መካከል የኦሎምፒክ ታሪካዊ አትሌቶች ጥሩነሽ ዲባባ እና ደራርቱ ቱሉ ይገኙበታል።

በአቅራቢያውም ለህፃናት የሚዘጋጅ የሩጫ ውድድር ይካሄዳል፤ ይህም ለዝግጅቱ ሌላ የደስታና የተሳትፎ ደረጃን ይጨምራል።

ዶ/ር አበዛ እንደሚሉት፦

“በአሌክሳንድሪያ ሁሉም ባህሎች ይገናኛሉ። ውብ ከተማ ናት፤ ከዓለም የመጡ ሰዎችም በውስጧ ይኖራሉ። ፍጹም መዳረሻ ናት። ከVisit Alexandria የሚደረገው ድጋፍም ሚና አለው። አሁን ያለችው ከንቲባ አሊያ ጋስኪንስ፣ የከተማው ምክር ቤት አባል ጆን ቴይለር ቻፕማን እና ሌሎችም በጣም ደጋፊ ነበሩ። ለዚህም ነው በአሌክሳንድሪያ የምናደርገው።”

Grand African Run

Step up to the starting line for the Grand African Run, a nonprofit event where people from all walks of life come together for a 5K run and a cultural experience rooted in connection and belonging.

Families spanning generations, people of all ages, backgrounds, abilities, and life experiences create a vibrant sea of runners, joggers, and walkers—united by matching-colored shirts.

“All human beings in the same type of shirt…so you can’t tell who is old or young, rich or poor. I love that feeling of seeing a stream of people by the start line, because there’s a lot of hard work that goes into this event,” says Dr. Gashaw Abeza, founder of the Grand African Run.

More than a race through Alexandria’s neighborhoods, including Old Town and Potomac Yard, the Grand African Run is an immersive cultural experience. Live performers take the stage as musicians play African drums and violins, while dancers showcase Eskista, the traditional Ethiopian dance, alongside cultural performances from Eritrea, Rwanda, Kenya, and other African communities.

Vendors also offer food, cultural products, and artifacts from across the African diaspora. Charity partners connect with participants and give runners the opportunity to support causes of their choice, including the African Women’s Cancer Awareness Association (AWCAA), Your Ethiopian Professionals Network (YEP), Raeye Children Aid (RCA) and many other organizations. Among them is WIHA, which supports underserved communities in Africa by providing clean water, menstrual pads, and other essential resources.

Alexandria: A City of Connection

Dr. Abeza says Alexandria quickly became the perfect home for the Grand African Run.

“The city is the people. People from all over the world live in Alexandria. You are welcome, and the experiences prove it.”

That spirit of community and giving continues throughout the event. Participants also have the opportunity to enter a lottery drawing for a car, with the 2026 Toyota Corolla serving as this year’s prize.

The event also features the African Impact Award, which recognizes extraordinary achievements by African leaders across different industries.

“It’s open for anyone. Everybody is welcome to run in it. But we called it that way to celebrate Africa’s achievements, so we called it Grand African Run,” Dr. Abeza explains.

Inspired by Africa’s Running Culture

The name Grand African Run also reflects Africa’s remarkable running culture, something Dr. Abeza encountered early in his career while working at a local running event that attracted more than 30,000 participants.

“That early age of my career was beautiful. That was my very first job, which I did for five years, and during that time, men, women, anyone disabled, they all came together.”

For nearly five years, Dr. Abeza helped organize running events and saw firsthand how sport could bring people together regardless of age, background, or ability.

Over the years, he developed an extensive career as a researcher, professor, and consultant in sports business. But while pursuing his doctoral degree, settling down with his wife and children, and reflecting on what it meant to build a home in another country, he began thinking more deeply about purpose.

“I can teach. Write books and educate students. But so, what? I started to think, I have got to do something. If life took me to this part of the world, I want to give back. When I’m 70, what am I going to tell my kids? You have purpose in your life. I have a purpose in my life. Everyone has got purpose in this life, right? My purpose is giving back.”

That search for purpose became the inspiration for the Grand African Run. The remaining question was where to bring the vision to life—and Alexandria proved to be the place.

Celebrating African Excellence

With the event's purpose firmly established, Dr. Abeza has brought the Grand African Run to the attention of some of Africa and the world's celebrated athletes, including Olympic legends Tirunesh Dibaba and Derartu Tulu.

A dedicated kids’ race also takes place nearby, adding another generation to the celebration.

“In Alexandria, all cultures come together. It’s a beautiful city and people from all over the world live in it. It’s a perfect destination, and having support from Visit Alexandria plays a role as well. The current Mayor Alyia Gaskins, Councilman John Taylor Chapman, those people they have been amazingly supportive. That’s why we do it in Alexandria,” says Dr. Abeza.

Join the Grand African Run

The Grand African Run will take place on Saturday, October 10, 2026, in Alexandria, Virginia.

It is more than a 5K. It is a gathering of communities, cultures, generations, athletes, families, charities, and supporters coming together to celebrate Africa, its people, achievements, and spirit of belonging.

Everyone is welcome.

“የኢሮብ ሕዝብ”፦ ታሪክ፣ ባህልና የመኖር ትግልን የዳሰሰ መጽሐፍ
#ethiopia | አዲስ አበባ — “The Irob People: History, Culture, and the Struggle for Survival” የተሰኘው መጽሐፍ የኢሮብ ሕዝብን ታሪክ፣ ባህል፣ ቋንቋ፣ የአመጣጥ ትርክቶችን እና በኢትዮጵያ–ኤርትራ ድንበር አካባቢ የተጋረጡበትን የጂኦፖለቲካ ፈተናዎች በስፋት የሚዳስስ ሥራ ነው።

መጽሐፉ በግርማይ ተስፋገርጊስ የተዘጋጀ ሲሆን፣ ዋና ዓላማው የኢሮብ ወጣቶችና ቀጣዩ ትውልድ ስለ ቅርሳቸው፣ ስለ ታሪካቸው እና ስለ ባህላቸው በጥልቀት እንዲያስቡና በምርምር እንዲመረምሩ ማነሳሳት መሆኑ በመግቢያው ተገልጿል።

በመጽሐፉ የተጠቀሱት አንዳንድ የአመጣጥ ትርክቶች ከኢሮብ ሕዝብ የቃል ትውፊት ጋር የተያያዙ ሲሆኑ፣ እነዚህ ትርክቶች በቀጥታ እንደ ታሪካዊ ማስረጃ ከመውሰድ ይልቅ በጥናትና በትችት መመርመር እንዳለባቸው ደራሲው ያሳስባል።

ለምሳሌ፣ “የሮም ንጉሥ መግድር” እና “የእስራኤሉ ንጉሥ ዳዊት ልጅ ንግሥት ኢሌኒ” የኢሮብ ሕዝብ ቅድመ አያቶች እንደነበሩ የሚነገረው ታሪክ በማስረጃ መመርመር እንደሚገባው መጽሐፉ ይጠቁማል።

በተመሳሳይም፣ በኢሮብ ትውፊት ጋይሶላ በእንስት አጋዘን ተንከባክባ ወተቷን እየጠባች አደገች የሚለውን ታሪክ ደራሲው እንደ ባህላዊ ተረት ማስቀመጥ እንደሚቻል እንጂ በቀጥታ እንደ ታሪካዊ እውነታ መቀበል እንደማይገባ ያብራራል።

ይህ አቀራረብ የትውፊትን ዋጋ ለመቀነስ ሳይሆን፣ ትውፊትን ከታሪካዊ ማስረጃ ጋር በመለየት በጥናት መመልከትን ለማበረታታት መሆኑ በመጽሐፉ መግቢያ ተገልጿል።

የኢሮብ ቋንቋና የቃል ባህል

መጽሐፉ የኢሮብ ሕዝብ ባህላዊ ማንነት የሚገለጽባቸውን የቃል ባህል መንገዶችም በስፋት ያካትታል።

ኢሮቦች ስሜታቸውን፣ ሐሳባቸውንና ልምዳቸውን በምትና በሥነ-ግጥም መልክ በሚቀርቡ “አዶር” በተባሉ ግጥሞች እንደሚገልጹ መጽሐፉ ያብራራል።

ከዋናው የመጽሐፉ ይዘት ጋር ተያያዥነት ያላቸው የአዶር ግጥሞች፣ ተጨማሪ ግጥሞችና የልቅሶ ግጥሞች በአባሪነት ተካተዋል። ደራሲው እንደሚገልጸው፣ የግጥሞቹ ምርጫ በጥብቅ የሥነ-ጥበብ ወይም የይዘት መስፈርት ላይ ሳይመሠረት በደራሲው እጅ በነበረው የመረጃ ተደራሽነት ላይ በከፊል የተመሠረተ ነው።

ደራሲው የአዶር እና የማይቃስ ግጥሞችን ለመተርጎም ከመሞከር ይልቅ በመጀመሪያ ቋንቋቸው ለመጠበቅ መርጧል። ይህም ለወደፊት ትውልድ የአካባቢውን ቋንቋዊና ባህላዊ ይዘት ለማስቀመጥ የታለመ ነው።

የሳሆ ቋንቋ ጽሑፎችም ለንባብ ቀላልነት በግዕዝ ፊደልና በላቲን ፊደል ቀርበዋል።

ምሳሌዎች፣ እንቆቅልሾችና ባህላዊ እውቀት

የኢሮብ ሕዝብ ከትውልድ ወደ ትውልድ ያስተላለፋቸው ምሳሌዎችና እንቆቅልሾችም በመጽሐፉ አባሪ ውስጥ ተካተዋል።

እነዚህ የቃል ቅርሶች በሕዝቡ ውስጥ የተስፋፉ እምነቶችን፣ የአስተሳሰብ መንገዶችንና የዕለት ተዕለት ባህላዊ እውቀቶችን ለመመልከት መስኮት እንደሚሆኑ መጽሐፉ ያቀርባቸዋል።

ከዚህ በተጨማሪ፣ በ“ናባራ” የተጠቀሱ ግለሰቦች ዝርዝርም በአባሪው ውስጥ ተካትቷል። ደራሲው ግን ዝርዝሩ በግል ማጣቀሻዎች ላይ የተመሠረተ መሆኑንና ሙሉ ዝርዝር እንዳልሆነ ገልጿል።

የድንበር ጦርነቶችና የሕዝቡ ፈተና

መጽሐፉ ከባህላዊ ይዘቱ ባሻገር የኢሮብ ሕዝብ የተጋረጠበትን የፖለቲካና የጂኦፖለቲካ ፈተና ያነሳል።

የኢሮብ ሕዝብ በሰሜን ምሥራቅ ትግራይ ከኢትዮጵያ–ኤርትራ ድንበር አካባቢ የሚኖር ኢትኖ-ሊንጉስቲክ አናሳ ማኅበረሰብ መሆኑን መጽሐፉ ይገልጻል። በቅርብ ዓመታት በአካባቢው በተከሰቱ ጦርነቶች ማኅበረሰቡ ከባድ ተጽዕኖ እንደደረሰበትም ይዳስሳል።

በመጽሐፉ አቀራረብ መሠረት፣ የኢሮብ ባህላዊና ታሪካዊ መኖሪያ አካባቢ በሁለት ሀገራት መካከል መከፈሉ የማኅበረሰቡን የግዛት ትስስር በመፈታተን ላይ እንደሚገኝ ይተነትናል።

መጽሐፉ በተለይ የኢትዮጵያ–ኤርትራ ድንበር ጦርነትና ውጤቱ በኢሮብ ማኅበረሰብ ላይ ያሳደረውን ተጽዕኖ በማተኮር የማኅበረሰቡን የመኖር ትግል ለማሳየት ይሞክራል።

የኢሮብ አስተዋጽዖ

ደራሲው በመጽሐፉ የኢሮብ ሕዝብ በኢትዮጵያ ታሪክ ውስጥ ያደረገውን አስተዋጽዖ ለማሳየት ሞክሯል።

የኢሮብ ሕዝብ ታሪክን በአካባቢያዊ የቃል ትውፊት ብቻ ሳይሆን ከኢትዮጵያ ሰፊ ታሪክ አንፃር መመልከት እንደሚገባም መጽሐፉ ያነሳል።

በዚህ ረገድ፣ ሥራው የኢሮብ ታሪክና ባህል በተለይም ለወጣቱ ትውልድ እንዲተዋወቅ የሚያግዝ የመረጃ ምንጭ ለመሆን ያለመ ነው።

የወጣቱ ትውልድ ሚና

ደራሲው በመጽሐፉ የሚያነሳው አንዱ ትልቅ ጉዳይ የወጣቱ ትውልድ የቅርስ ጥናት ላይ የሚኖረው ሚና ነው።

ያለፈውን ታሪክ ማወቅ አስፈላጊ ቢሆንም፣ የተላለፉ ትርክቶችን ያለጥያቄ ከመቀበል ይልቅ ምንጫቸውን፣ ማስረጃቸውንና ታሪካዊ አውዳቸውን መመርመር እንደሚገባ ደራሲው ያስገነዝባል።

በተለይም የዘር ሐረግን ከአዳም ጀምሮ እስከ ዛሬ ያለውን ትውልድ ያለማስረጃ መቀበል ምክንያታዊነቱን መመርመር እንደሚጠይቅ መጽሐፉ ይጠቁማል።

ይህም ሥራው የተለመዱ ትርክቶችን ብቻ ለማስተላለፍ ሳይሆን፣ የኢሮብ ወጣቶች ስለ ታሪካቸው በጥያቄ፣ በምርምርና በክፍት አስተሳሰብ እንዲያስቡ ለማነሳሳት የተዘጋጀ መሆኑን ያሳያል።

የመጽሐፉ ልዩ ይዘቶች

መጽሐፉ የኢሮብ ሕዝብን ታሪክና ባህል በጽሑፍ ብቻ ሳይወሰን በፎቶግራፎች፣ በምስሎች፣ በቋንቋ አነባበብ መመሪያዎች፣ በግጥሞች፣ በምሳሌዎችና በእንቆቅልሾች ያቀርባል።

ይህ አቀራረብ አንባቢዎች የኢሮብ ሕዝብን ባህላዊ ሕይወት በተለያዩ ገጽታዎች እንዲመለከቱ ለማስቻል የታሰበ ሲሆን፣ በተለይም በቃል ትውፊት የተጠበቁ ባህላዊ ይዘቶች ለወደፊት ትውልድ እንዲተላለፉ የሚያግዝ ሰነድ ለመፍጠር ያለመ ነው።

ደራሲው በዩናይትድ ስቴትስ የሚኖር የኢሮብ ተወላጅ ሲሆን፣ ለረጅም ጊዜ የኢትዮጵያ ታሪክንና የሀገሪቱን ውስብስብ የፖለቲካ ታሪክ ሲያጠና እንደቆየ መጽሐፉ ይገልጻል።

“The Irob People: History, Culture, and the Struggle for Survival” በዚህ መልኩ የኢሮብ ሕዝብን ታሪክና ባህል ከዘመናዊ የትችት አስተሳሰብ ጋር ለማያያዝ፣ የቃል ትውፊቶችን ለመመዝገብ እና ማኅበረሰቡ በድንበር ጦርነቶችና በጂኦፖለቲካዊ ለውጦች ያሳለፈውን ተሞክሮ ለማስቀመጥ የተሞከረ ሥራ ሆኖ ቀርቧል።

The Irob People

History, Culture, and the Struggle for Survival

Ghirmay Tesfagherghis

***
Introduction

The main purpose of this brief appraisal of Irob society is to inspire the younger generation to engage critically with their heritage. While understanding ancestral history and culture is important, including the appreciation of time-honored legends, it is equally vital to distinguish between folklore and historical facts.

For instance, legends claiming that "King Megdir of Rome and Queen Illeni, daughter of King David of the Israelites" were ancestors of the Irob people require critical evaluation to determine their factual basis.

Similarly, the tale of Gaiysola, who, according to Irob tradition, was raised by a she-deer and nursed on her milk, and other such stories should not be taken as literal history. However, there is nothing wrong with preserving and retelling them as folklore.

Some aspects of this text may appear unconventional or even controversial, especially to those with traditional views. These elements have been included deliberately to stimulate critical thinking and to encourage thoughtful research and reflection, particularly among Irob students and the younger generation. For example, the practice of tracing genealogy from Adam to the present day and accepting it without question may not be entirely rational or reasonable. In essence, this work seeks to inspire the new generation to explore their heritage with discernment and an open mind.

XII

The Irob people traditionally express their feelings, thoughts, and ideas through rhythmic verses known as ador (poems). A selection of these poems, chosen for their thematic relevance to the main text, is included in the appendix. Their purpose is to illustrate the popularity of the book's central figures.

The appendix also contains a small number of additional poems and eulogies that the author deemed significant. It should be noted, however, that the selection was guided primarily by the availability of material to the author, rather than by strict content or artistic criteria.

Similarly, the individuals listed as Nabara were identified through personal referrals. Their inclusion does not imply endorsement, and the list is not intended to be exhaustive. Furthermore, the few photographs and illustrations featured were selected based on their availability at the time of publication.

A collection of proverbs and riddles preserved through generations is included in the appendix to offer a glimpse into the cultural beliefs of the Irob people.

The author did not attempt to translate the poems (the ador and maiqas) but instead included them in their original language to preserve them for future local generations. To aid readability, the Saho texts are presented in both Ethiopic and Latin scripts.

***
The Irob people are an ethno-linguistic minority group from northeastern Tigray, Ethiopia. Situated on the Ethio-Eritrean border, this community has been uniquely devastated by the recent wars. In addition to suffering the ravages of war, the Irob have witnessed their ancestral lands and community baselessly and unjustly divided between two nations, threatening their territorial integrity and leaving their continuation as a significant ethno-political entity in question.

This book offers a rare look into the history, culture and geopolitical challenges of this little-known, fascinating minority group. It narrates theories about their origin story and details their significant contributions to the Ethiopian state throughout time. Readers will immerse themselves in Irob culture and language through pronunciation guides, photographs, vivid descriptions of cultural practices, and an appendix of poems, proverbs and riddles displaying their rich cultural heritage expressed through storytelling, poetry and oral history. Readers will also come away from this book with a deep insight into the causes and impact of the Ethio-Eritrean border war with a particular focus on how it has pushed this invaluable community to the brink of extinction.

An Irob native currently residing in the United States, the author is a lifelong Ethiopian history enthusiast who has dedicated much of his life to studying the nation’s rich history and exploring its complex political landscape.

Ethio telecom CEO and ZTE Senior Leadership Hold Strategic Discussions Enhancing Partnership to Accelerate Ethiopia’s Digital Transformation

Ethio telecom CEO Frehiwot Tamru hosted a high-level delegation from ZTE Corporation, led by its Executive Vice President and COO, Mr. Xie Junshi. The meeting evaluated the successful progress of the landmark Network Expansion and Modernization Agreement finalized during the Mobile World Congress 2026 in Barcelona. This engagement underscores a shared vision for accelerating digital infrastructure under the company's Next Horizon: Digital & Beyond 2028 Strategy.

As part of the end-to-end network modernization in the ZTE circle, which encompasses 879 sites, 462 RAN modernization sites (which include LTE layering at 180 sites, LTE upgrading at 248 sites, and a full SWAP of 102 sites), 237 MW link upgrades, and 103 IP RAN site expansions were successfully completed. On top of this, the remaining scopes of the modernization program are under execution, which include 124 new sites, U2100 refarming at 272 sites, and 115 rural solution sites.

This rollout has significantly widened high-speed connectivity, pushing national 4G mobile population coverage to an impressive 92% in ZTE circle. These sites now serve as a robust digital backbone for the nation's evolving economy, enhancing connectivity for millions of citizens across Ethiopia.

CEO Frehiwot Tamru expressed her sincere appreciation for the project's successful execution, emphasizing its vital contribution to achieving the Next Horizon Year One targets. The leadership commended ZTE for their innovative financing model, technical excellence, and dedication to meeting aggressive modernization timelines.

Looking forward, the CEO underscored that the next phase of modernization and expansion will proceed with stretched targets, calling on the ZTE team to maintain their steadfast support. Ultimately, this strategic partnership ensured network upgrades were delivered efficiently and sustainably, directly addressing the nation’s rapidly expanding demand for high-quality data services.

To bridge the digital divide, both leaders agreed to partner on innovative device financing options that expand access to affordable smartphones. Empowering consumers with accessible hardware remains a top priority to maximize the impact of the newly deployed 4G network and support a rapidly growing digital society.

Another key focus was the acceleration of Ethio telecom’s "Green Operator" initiatives. By collaborating on sustainable green energy infrastructure, both companies aim to significantly reduce the carbon footprint of telecom operations. This initiative reflects a commitment to building a resilient, eco-friendly network that aligns with global environmental standards and Ethio telecom's sustainability goals.

Concluding the visit, the ZTE COO commended Ethio telecom’s remarkable progress and its ambitious strategy. He expressed honor in ZTE’s opportunity to work at a high scale with a leading African operator. Reaffirming their commitment, both parties pledged to continue a win-win partnership dedicated to empowering Ethiopia’s digital future and ensuring technological excellence.

Ethio telecom and Inspur Software Technology Explore Strategic Partnership to Accelerate Ethiopia's Digital Infrastructure Transformation

Ethio telecom CEO, Frehiwot Tamru, hosted high-level strategic discussions with a senior delegation from Inspur Software Technology Co., Ltd., led by its Board Chairman, Mr. Lin Shuai. Joining the delegation was Mr. Gao Xinjie, Deputy General Manager of Shandong Hi-Speed Road & Bridge International Engineering, reflecting a shared commitment to fostering an integrated partnership that combines advanced digital technologies with state-of-the-art infrastructure development.

Aligned with Ethio telecom's "Next Horizon: Digital & Beyond 2028" strategy, the discussions focused on establishing a strategic partnership that integrates next-generation digital technologies with modern infrastructure to accelerate Ethiopia's digital transformation and strengthen the nation's digital economy. By combining cutting-edge computing capabilities with robust physical infrastructure, the collaboration aims to create a resilient, intelligent, and future-ready digital ecosystem that supports inclusive economic growth and national development.

As part of the proposed collaboration, Inspur Software Technology will contribute its expertise in advanced digital infrastructure by supporting the design and deployment of high-performance computing, AI-ready data center solutions, cloud computing platforms, and intelligent digital infrastructure. These capabilities are expected to strengthen Ethiopia's sovereign digital infrastructure, enhance national computing capacity, support AI-driven innovation, and enable the delivery of next-generation digital and enterprise services.

The discussions also explored opportunities to jointly develop localized digital applications and industry-specific solutions tailored to Ethiopia's market, with the aim of accelerating digital adoption across key sectors of the economy. Furthermore, the companies discussed collaboration in areas including AI computing infrastructure, cloud services, enterprise digital transformation, smart industry solutions, talent development, technology transfer, research and innovation. They also explored leveraging their complementary strengths to expand cooperation beyond Ethiopia and jointly pursue strategic opportunities across Africa, contributing to regional digital transformation, digital inclusion, and sustainable economic growth.

During the discussions, Mr. Lin Shuai and Mr. Gao Xinjie highly commended Ethio telecom's visionary leadership, remarkable transformation journey, and outstanding achievements in evolving from a traditional telecommunications operator into one of Africa's leading digital services and technology companies. They expressed their admiration for the company's strategic direction, rapid digital transformation, continuous investment in advanced technologies, and its growing role in driving Ethiopia's digital economy. Reaffirming their confidence in Ethio telecom's future, they conveyed their strong interest in establishing a long-term strategic partnership that extends beyond Ethiopia to jointly pursue opportunities across the African market.

Concluding the meeting, CEO Frehiwot Tamru directed the respective technical teams to expedite the development of a comprehensive cooperation framework and implementation roadmap. This preparatory work will pave the way for a subsequent executive-level engagement to formalize the partnership and initiate the implementation of high-impact strategic initiatives that will contribute to Ethiopia's and Africa's digital future.

Ethio telecom and Huawei Strengthen Strategic Partnership to Accelerate Enterprise and SME Growth Through Digital Innovation

Ethio telecom Chief Executive Officer, Frehiwot Tamru, and Huawei Northern Africa President, Mr. Li Shen, together with their executive leadership teams, held high-level strategic discussions to further strengthen their long-standing strategic partnership and accelerate the growth of Ethiopia's Enterprise and Small & Medium Enterprise (SME) markets through innovative digital solutions.

The discussions were aligned with Ethio telecom's Next Horizon: Digital & Beyond 2028 strategy and focused on expanding the partnership beyond traditional telecommunications infrastructure toward a broader business, innovation, and digital ecosystem collaboration. Both companies reaffirmed their shared commitment to jointly driving Ethiopia's digital transformation by creating sustainable value for businesses, communities, and the wider digital economy.

A key focus of the meeting was the joint development of integrated, industry-specific digital solutions that combine advanced connectivity, cloud computing, artificial intelligence (AI), cybersecurity, Internet of Things (IoT), data center services, and digital platforms to accelerate the digital transformation of enterprises across key sectors of the economy.

The leadership teams also discussed strengthening the digital ecosystem for Enterprise and SME customers by integrating innovative business solutions with the telebirr platform, enabling digital payments, financial services, business management tools, e-commerce, and other value-added services that empower businesses to improve productivity, expand their markets, and enhance competitiveness.

Recognizing the importance of local innovation and faster service delivery, the discussions emphasized strengthening local software development, solution customization, system integration, and technical support through enhanced local engineering capabilities, solution architects, and research and development collaboration. Both companies agreed that closer collaboration between their technical teams will accelerate innovation, improve responsiveness to customer requirements, and enable the rapid development of solutions tailored to Ethiopia's evolving market needs.

The meeting further explored opportunities to strengthen collaboration in expanding smartphone affordability and digital device accessibility through innovative financing models and broader market initiatives. Both companies recognized that increasing access to affordable smart devices is fundamental to accelerating digital inclusion and enabling greater participation in Ethiopia's growing digital economy.

Beyond technology and business growth, both companies emphasized the importance of expanding collaboration in Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) initiatives and corporate social responsibility. The discussions highlighted opportunities to work together in promoting digital inclusion, digital literacy, rural connectivity, digital education, community empowerment, and sustainable digital infrastructure, reaffirming their shared commitment to delivering meaningful social and economic impact.

The leadership also agreed to strengthen collaboration in marketing communications, customer education, and digital awareness initiatives to accelerate the adoption of innovative digital services. Joint efforts will focus on developing creative campaigns, educational content, promotional materials, and customer engagement initiatives that enhance awareness and maximize the value of Ethio telecom's expanding portfolio of digital products and services, including telebirr and enterprise digital solutions.

Huawei reaffirmed its unwavering commitment to supporting Ethio telecom's transformation into a leading technology-driven digital services company (TechCo). The company expressed its readiness to deepen collaboration in enterprise innovation, SME empowerment, digital ecosystem development, solution co-creation, and regional growth opportunities, supporting Ethio telecom's ambition to expand digital innovation beyond Ethiopia into regional and African markets.

The meeting concluded with a shared commitment to translate these strategic priorities into concrete initiatives that will accelerate Ethiopia's digital transformation, unlock new opportunities for enterprises and SMEs, strengthen digital inclusion, and create scalable digital solutions capable of serving markets across Africa.

⚖️ ስለ"ህግ እና ማህበረሰብ" መረዳት ያለብን ወሳኝ ነጥቦች!! ⚖️
👤 ታደሰ ተክሌ (የህግ አማካሪና ጠበቃ)

በኢትዮጵያ ነባራዊ ሁኔታ "ህግ እና ማህበረሰብ" ያላቸው ቁርኝት ጥልቅና ውስብስብ ነው። ህግ የማህበረሰቡን እሴት የሚያንፀባርቅ መስተዋት ነው። ማህበረሰብን ማጥናትና መረዳትም ህግን ጠንቅቆ ለማወቅ ከማገዙም በላይ በርካታ አለመግባባቶችን በቀላሉ ለመፍታት መንገድ ይከፍታል። በሀገራችን ነባራዊ ሁኔታም በህግ አውጪው አካል እና በዜጎች ፍላጎት መካከል የሚስተዋሉ ክፍተቶች ይህን እውነታ ካለመረዳት የሚመጡ ናቸው። ማህበረሰቡን ያማከለ ህግ ስለሚወጣበት መንገድ ጽሁፌን እንደሚከተለው አቀርባለሁ፡፡ 👇

🛑 በኢትዮጵያ ህግ አወጣጥ ሂደት ውስጥ የሚታዩ ክፍተቶች
📌 የህዝብ ቀጥተኛ ተሳትፎ ማነስ፦ ብዙ ጊዜ ህጎች የሚረቀቁት በመንግስት አስፈፃሚ አካላት ወይም በሚኒስትሮች ምክር ቤት ሆኖ ለፓርላማ ይቀርባሉ። ይህ ሂደት ህጉ ከመውጣቱ በፊት የህዝቡ ቀጥተኛ ተሳትፎ እንዲቀንስ ሊያደርገው ይችላል። 📉

📌 ውይይቶች በከተማ ላይ ብቻ ማተኮራቸው፦ ፓርላማው አዋጆችን ከማፅደቁ በፊት የህዝብ አስተያየት እንዲሰጥባቸው መድረኮችን ያዘጋጃል። ሆኖም፣ እነዚህ ውይይቶች ብዙውን ጊዜ በከተማ ላይ ያተኮሩ እና ሁሉንም የህብረተሰብ ክፍል ወይም ሰፊውን የአርሶ አደርና አርብቶ አደር የህብረተሰብ ክፍሎችን ሃሳብ ያላካተቱ ሊሆኑ ይችላሉ።

📌 ባህላዊና ሃይማኖታዊ እሴቶችን አለማካተት፦ የኢትዮጵያ ህዝብ እንደ ማህበረሰብ ለዘመናት ሲመራባቸው የቆዩ ባህላዊ እና ሃይማኖታዊ ህጎች አሉ። መደበኛው ህግ እነዚህን እሴቶች ግምት ውስጥ ሳያስገባ ሲቀር፣ ህጉ በማህበረሰቡ ዘንድ ተቀባይነት የማጣት ወይም የመጣስ እድሉ ሰፊ ይሆናል። ⚖️

📌 የቋንቋ ተደራሽነት ችግር፦ በሌላ በኩል ህጎች የሚወጡት በፌዴራል የስራ ቋንቋ (አማርኛ) እና እንግሊዝኛ ብቻ እንደመሆኑ ቋንቋውን ለማይረዱ የህብረተሰብ ክፍሎች ህጉን ተረድቶ ለመተግበር እንቅፋት ይፈጥራል። 🗣️

💡 ማህበረሰቡን ያማከለ ህግ እንዴት መውጣት አለበት?
ህግ የሰላም እና የልማት መሳሪያ እንዲሆን "ማህበረሰብ-ተኮር" መሆኑ የግድ ነው፡፡ 🕊️🏗️ ይህን ለማድረግ የሚከተሉት ነጥቦች ወሳኝ ናቸው፦👇

ሀ. አሳታፊነት (Participation)፤ 👥 ህጉ በቀጥታ የሚመለከታቸው የማህበረሰብ ክፍሎች (ገበሬዎች፣ ነጋዴዎች፣ ሴቶች፣ ወጣቶች…) በረቂቅ ደረጃው ላይ እንዲሳተፉ መደረግ አለበት። አስተያየታቸውም በህጉ ውስጥ መካተቱን ማረጋገጥ የባለቤትነት ስሜት ይፈጥራል።

ለ. የህግ ተፅዕኖ ግምገማ (Impact Assessment)፤ 📊 ህጉ ከመውጣቱ በፊት በማህበረሰቡ ማህበራዊ፣ ኢኮኖሚያዊ እና ስነ-ልቦናዊ ህይወት ላይ የሚያመጣው ተፅዕኖ በጥናት ሊለይ ይገባል። "ይህ ህግ ቢወጣ ድሃውን ማህበረሰብ ይጎዳል ወይስ ይጠቅማል?" የሚለው ጥያቄ በቅድሚያ መመለስ አለበት።

ሐ. ነባራዊ እሴቶችን ማክበር፤ ህጉ ከኢትዮጵያ ማህበረሰብ የሞራል እና የባህል እሴቶች ጋር መጣጣም አለበት። ለምሳሌ በግጭት አፈታት ዙሪያ የሚወጡ ህጎች የማህበረሰቡን የእርቅ ባህል ከግምት ቢያስገቡ ውጤታማ ይሆናሉ።

መ. ግልፅነት እና ተደራሽነት፤ 📢 ህጉ በግልፅ ቋንቋ መፃፍ እና ወደ ተለያዩ የክልል የስራ ቋንቋዎች ተተርጉሞ ለህዝቡ መሰራጨት አለበት። "ህግን አለማወቅ ከቅጣት አያድንም" የሚለው መርህ ትርጉም የሚኖረው ህዝቡ ህጉን እንዲያውቅ በቂ ስራ ሲሰራ ብቻ ነው። 📖

📝 በአጠቃላይ...
ህግ የማህበረሰቡን ፍላጎት ተከተሎ የሚወጣ እንጂ፣ ማህበረሰቡን በግዴታ ወደ አንድ አቅጣጫ ለመንዳት ብቻ የሚወጣ መሆን የለበትም። በኢትዮጵያ "ህግ እና ማህበረሰብ" እንዲጣጣሙ የህግ አውጪው አካል ከፖለቲካዊ ፍላጎት ይልቅ ለማህበራዊ እውነታዎች ቅድሚያ መስጠት ይኖርበታል፡፡

“የልጃችን እውነት ዛሬም ድረስ አልወጣም እና እስኪወጣ እገዛችሁ አይለየን”

ቀነኒ አዱኛ ህይወቷ ካለፈ ያሳለፍነው ሳምንት አንድ አመት ሞልቷታል። እሁድ ጠዋት አንደኛ ዓመቷን ለመዘከር ቤተሰብ እና የተወሰነ ሰው ስላሴ ቤተክርስቲያን ተሰብስቦ ነበር።

ሁሉም ቤተሰብ ውስጥ ለእህት ወንድም እንደ እናት ፤ ለእናት አባት ደግሞ ችግር ተካፋይ የሚሆኑ ልጆች አሉ። ቀነኒ ለቤተሰቧ ያን አይነት ልጅ ነበረች። የእናት በማመን እና ባለማመን መካከል መቸገር፣ የአባት ጠንክሮ ማጠንከር ውስጥ መባዘን እና የወንድም እና እህት አንገት መደፋትን ማየት ከምንም በላይ ያማል።

ቤተሰብ ዛሬም ድርስ ከተለያዩ የመንግስት ተቋማት ምላሽ እና እገዛን እየጠበቀ ይገኛል። “የልጃችን እውነት ዛሬም ድረስ አልወጣም እና እስኪወጣ እገዛችሁ አይለየን” ሲሉ አባቷ አቶ አዱኛ ዋቆ መልዕክት አስተላልፈዋል። ቢዘገየም የመንግስት ተቋማት ለልመናቸው ምላሽ ይሰጣሉ የሚል ተስፋ አለኝ።

ዛሬም ስለ ቀነኒ ማውራት መጠየቅ እንቀጥል። የቀነኒ ጉዳይ ብዙዎች ዘንድ የደረሰ እና ብዙዎችን ያነጋገረ ጉዳይ ነው። እንዲህ ያሉ ጉዳዮች ሲኖሩ የሚፈፀሙ በደሎች ተቀባይነት እንደሌላቸው ለማሳየት አስረግጦ ሀሳብን ማቅረብ የግድ ነው። በሴቶች መብት ጉዳይ በሀገራችን ላይ ያለውን አመለካከት እና ‘conversation’ በደንብ ቅርፅ ያስያዘ ያለ ጉዳይም ነው።

ነፍስሽ በሰላም ትረፍ 🕯️🕊️

You have touched so many hearts, your impact will go on and you will be remembered.

​“ማርስ ላይ መሞት እፈልጋለሁ፤ ነገር ግን በመጋጨት አይደለም!” — የኢሎን ማስክ አስገራሚ ምኞትና የጠፈር ጉዞው የወደፊት እጣ ፈንታ

​በዓለም ላይ ካሉ ባለጸጎች መካከል በግንባር ቀደምትነት የሚጠቀሰውና የSpaceX መስራች የሆነው ኢሎን ማስክ፣ በዳቮስ የዓለም ኢኮኖሚ ፎረም ላይ ተገኝቶ ያስደመመ መግለጫ ሰጥቷል። ማስክ የሰው ልጅ በማርስ ላይ እንዲሰፍር ያለውን ጽኑ ፍላጎት ሲገልጽ፣ የእሱም የመጨረሻው የህይወት ምዕራፍ በዚሁ ቀይ ፕላኔት ላይ እንዲያበቃ እንደሚመኝ ተናግሯል።

ይሁን እንጂ ይህ ምኞቱ እውን እንዲሆን አንድ ትልቅ ቅድመ ሁኔታ አስቀምጧል፤ እሱም “እዚያው ማርስ ላይ መሞት እፈልጋለሁ፣ ነገር ግን በመጋጨት (Impact) መሆን የለበትም” በማለት ጉዞው ስኬታማና ሰላማዊ መሆን እንዳለበት በቀልድ የታጀበ መልእክቱን አስተላልፏል።

​ይህ የማስክ ድፍረት የተሞላበት ንግግር በባዶ ተስፋ ላይ የተመሰረተ ሳይሆን፣ በቅርቡ SpaceX ባከናወነው ታሪካዊ የቴክኖሎጂ ስኬት ላይ የተገነባ ነው። የሁለተኛው ትውልድ ስታርሺፕ (Starship) መንኮራኩር አምስተኛ የሙከራ በረራውን በስኬት ማጠናቀቁ፣ ማስክን ለህልሙ ይበልጥ አቅርቦታል።

ይህ ሙከራ መንኮራኩሩን ወደ ህዋ ልኮ በሰላም መመለስ ብቻ ሳይሆን፣ ወደፊት ለሚደረገው የማርስ ጉዞ ወሳኝ የሆኑ ቴክኖሎጂዎች ውጤታማነታቸውን ያሳዩበት ትልቅ ምዕራፍ ሆኖ ተመዝግቧል።

​በዚህ በረራ ላይ የታየው ትልቁ የቴክኒክ እመርታ የመንኮራኩሩ የሙቀት መከላከያ (Heat Shield) ብቃት ነው። መንኮራኩሩ ወደ ምድር ከባቢ አየር በሚመለስበት ወቅት የሚፈጠረውንና እስከ 1430^circ ext{C} የሚደርሰውን እጅግ ከፍተኛ ሙቀት መቋቋም መቻሉ መሐንዲሶቹን አስደንቋል።

ቀደም ሲል በነበሩ ሙከራዎች ላይ ይፈጠሩ የነበሩ የሙቀት መከላከያ ሰቆች መውለቅና የመቃጠል አደጋዎች በዚህኛው ሙከራ መፈታታቸው፣ የጠፈር ጉዞውን ደህንነት ወደ አዲስ ከፍታ አሸጋግሮታል።

​ለኢሎን ማስክ የማርስ ጉዞ ስኬት ቁልፉ “መንኮራኩሮችን ደጋግሞ መጠቀም” (Reusability) የሚለው መርህ ነው። ስታርሺፕ ልክ እንደ አውሮፕላን ደጋግሞ መብረር መቻሉ፣ ወደ ጠፈር የሚደረገውን ጉዞ ወጪ በከፍተኛ ሁኔታ የሚቀንስ ነው።

አምስተኛው የሙከራ በረራ ይህንን ጽንሰ-ሀሳብ ወደ እውነታ የለወጠ ሲሆን፣ ይህም ለሰው ልጅ ታሪክ የመጀመሪያ የሆነውን በማርስ ላይ የመኖሪያ ጣቢያ የመመስረት ህልም ከመቼውም ጊዜ በላይ ቅርብ እንዲሆን አድርጎታል።

​አሁን ላይ የSpaceX ትኩረት ወደ ሦስተኛው ትውልድ ስታርሺፕ ዞሯል። ይህ አዲስ መንኮራኩር ከቀደሙት ይልቅ በጭነት አቅሙና በሞተር ጉልበቱ እጅግ የላቀ እንደሚሆን ይጠበቃል። ማስክ እንደሚለው፣ እያንዳንዱ በረራና እያንዳንዱ ስኬት ለሰው ልጅ “ባለብዙ ፕላኔት ዝርያ” የመሆን መንገድን ይከፍታል።

ይህም ማለት የሰው ልጅ በአንድ ወቅት ምድር ላይ አደጋ ቢጋርጥበት እንኳ በሌሎች ፕላኔቶች ላይ ህልውናውን አስጠብቆ እንዲቀጥል የሚያስችል የኢንሹራንስ ዋስትና ነው።

​በአጠቃላይ፣ የኢሎን ማስክ “ማርስ ላይ መሞት እፈልጋለሁ” የሚለው ንግግር የግል ምኞት ብቻ ሳይሆን፣ የሰው ልጅን አድማስ ለማስፋት የተያዘ ትልቅ ግብ ነጸብራቅ ነው። የቴክኖሎጂው እድገት አሁን ባለው ፍጥነት ከቀጠለ፣ ምናልባትም በሚቀጥሉት ጥቂት አስርት ዓመታት ውስጥ የመጀመሪያው ሰው ማርስ ላይ ሲያርፍ ማየት ህልም መሆኑ ይቀራል።

ማስክ እንደተመኘው በሰላም ማርስ ላይ አርፎ እዚያው ያርፍ እንደሆነ የሚያሳየው የጊዜ ሂደት ቢሆንም፣ አሁን ያለው ስኬት ግን ታሪክ እየተሰራ መሆኑን ይመሰክራል።

Rare earths & environmental cost
By Assadullah Channa

Pakistan is entering a critical phase in its resource development strategy.

Beneath its mountainous terrain lies a vast reserve of rare earth elements (REEs), estimated to be worth between $6 to $8 trillion. These minerals are essential to the global supply chain for technologies such as smartphones, electric vehicles, renewable energy systems and advanced defense equipment. Their discovery has generated significant interest from both domestic policymakers and international investors. Yet, as the country races to unlock this potential, it risks plunging headlong into an environmental catastrophe of staggering proportions. This rapid push toward extraction has raised important questions about the adequacy of environmental safeguards and whether current governance systems can manage the long-term impacts of large-scale resource development. Without careful planning and oversight, the benefits of rare earth mining could be overshadowed by lasting ecological and social costs.

Recent geochemical mapping, conducted jointly by the Geological Survey of Pakistan and the China Geological Survey, has revealed extensive concentrations of REEs across nearly 360,000 square kilometers of Pakistani territory. These deposits, primarily found in carbonatite-related formations, represent not just economic opportunity but ecological peril. For every ton of rare earths extracted, the process generates 2,000 tons of toxic waste, including one ton of radioactive residue. This toxic arithmetic is not a footnote; it is the central equation of extraction—one that threatens to poison Pakistan’s soil, water and air for generations. Much of the exploratory work has been described as unscientific, random and insufficient. This knowledge gap means that decisions about extraction are being made without a full understanding of the environmental consequences. Eight strategic sites in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, stretching from Mansehra to the Pakistan-Afghanistan border, have been earmarked for exploration. Drilling operations at Mashkichah in District Chagai are already underway, but the environmental implications raise serious concerns about transparency and accountability.

Pakistan’s ecological foundation seems fragile. The country faces one of the world’s most severe water crises, with over 60 percent of Balochistan’s population lacking access to safe drinking water. Groundwater depletion is accelerating and arsenic contamination in aquifers has reached dangerous levels. Rare earth processing, which requires massive volumes of water—up to 500,000 gallons per ton of lithium extracted—will place enormous strain on these already stressed resources. The competition for water between mining operations and local communities will be fierce and, in many cases, devastating. Contaminated aquifers can remain unusable for decades, wiping out agricultural potential in rural areas. The town of Talaap in Balochistan offers a grim preview of what lies ahead. For years, it has supplied water to the Saindak copper-gold project, yet its own residents have seen little benefit. The expansion of rare earth extraction threatens to replicate this pattern across multiple provinces, draining resources while delivering profits elsewhere.

The health consequences of rare earth exposure are equally alarming. REEs are known to cause cancer, cardiovascular damage, respiratory failure and neurological disorders. These elements disrupt fundamental biological processes, affecting multiple organ systems and compromising immune, reproductive and nervous functions. The burden of this environmental violence falls disproportionately on the most vulnerable and those with limited access to healthcare. Compounding these risks is Pakistan’s seismic vulnerability. The 2005 Kashmir earthquake was a stark reminder of the region’s tectonic instability. Balochistan continues to experience regular seismic activity, posing a direct threat to mining infrastructure. Rare earth extraction requires massive tailings dams to store radioactive waste and toxic chemicals. These structures, even under ideal conditions, are prone to failure.

Pakistan’s mineral wealth is undeniable. It holds the world’s fifth-largest copper-gold reserves, the second-largest coal and salt reserves and 92 discovered minerals in total. Yet the sector contributes less than 2 percent to the national GDP. This extraction-without-development model ensures that Pakistan captures minimal value from its resources while bearing the full brunt of environmental and social costs. The Saindak mine generated $2 billion between 2002 and 2017, yet Balochistan remains the poorest province. Proposed contracts for rare earth projects allocate just 10 percent equity to local communities, while foreign partners claim up to 70 percent. This is neo-colonial resource extraction, refined and repackaged for the 21st century. External geopolitical pressure further affects Pakistan’s mineral policy. In April 2025, U.S. State Department official Eric Meyer visited Islamabad just before the rushed passage of the Balochistan Mines Act. The legislation, which centralized control over provincial minerals, was suspended after widespread protests.

The risks Pakistan faces from rare earth mining are not abstract; they are immediate, measurable and potentially irreversible. If extraction proceeds without proper safeguards, the country could face widespread contamination of its water sources, accumulation of radioactive waste and loss of arable land. These impacts won’t disappear when the mining ends; they will linger for decades, affecting public health, agriculture and access to clean water. Pakistan must make a critical decision: whether to pursue mineral wealth at any cost or to develop policies that balance economic opportunity with environmental protection and community welfare. The country’s long-term stability depends on whether it can move beyond short-term profits and invest in sustainable practices and scientific oversight. This isn’t just about reputation; it’s about resilience.
